Event notifications by Telephone

are divided by type into the following groups:

2*  Arming AWAY, Arming HOME, Disarming  
3  No-activity, Emergency, Latchkey, Gas, Flood, Temperature 
4*  Low-battery AC failure

Note: For UL installations, SMS is a supplementary feature.

In case of alarm the following voice signal will be sent to private telephones upon event reporting: 
*  FIRE: ON - ON - ON - pause.... 
(- - -   - - -
 ......). 
**   BURGLAR: ON continuously ( ...) 
***  EMERGENCY: 2-tone siren; like an ambulance. 
To stop the alarm notification – press the "2" key on your telephone keyboard. The alarm sound will stop 
immediately. 
The called party must acknowledge the message (as explained later on). However, if there is no response the 
message will be repeated as many times as possible within a 45-second time limit. When the 45 seconds are 
up, the PowerMaster will disengage the line and call the next private telephone number on its list. 
The called party must acknowledge the message by pressing the "2" key on the telephone keypad. As a result, 
the PowerMaster may continue to notify the next programmed telephone number, or if so programmed, consider 
the event as reported - see Chapter – 6, B.11.

When the called party answers a call initiated by the PowerMaster, he will hear a verbal message composed of the 
“house identity” and the type of event that occurred. For example, once smoke is detected in the Smith residence, 
the message will be: 
[The Smith Residence - Fire Alarm]. 
If a person under surveillance in the Watkins residence has been inactive, the message will be: 
[The Watkins Residence - No Activity]. 
The  called  party  must  acknowledge  the  message  (as  explained  later  on),  but  if  he  does  not  respond,  the 
message will be transmitted repeatedly as many times as possible within a 45-second time limit. When the 45 
seconds are up, the PowerMaster will disengage the line and call the next private telephone number on its list. 
The called party can acknowledge the message by pressing a key on the telephone keypad, as follows.
